It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:
Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.
Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.
Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Hub motor? That's an instant no.
Why's that? I'm relatively new to ebikes and curious why I've seen this opinion around. I have a Lectric XP 2.0 with a hub motor and have no complaints.
Hub motor can't take advantage of bike gears. For example, you might face a steep hill. If you have a hub motor, it will simply stall as it won't have enough power to lift you up. But if you have a motor in your bottom bracket, you can switch to a lower gear and it will take all the way up.
That makes sense, and I have run into that a few times, but never thought much of it. I can see it being an issue for very hilly areas or for a lot of off-road riding.
